It doesnt reallt matter as long as the refresh rate etc is at a scale most monitors will run you wont have any issues when changing ...all you have to do is alter screen size and refresh rate etc to suit when you get it home .....best Idea would be to run at something like 1024x768 60hz during the install fest as most current monitors will run this fine , that way once home everything can be tweaked to suit your setup in a gui interface .....
